    >Not all campaigns of slaying sacred cows are the same Yeah. Your sacred cows are not OK to ridicule, but when it's The Other, definitely their sacred cows should be ridiculed, and…

    Banning MTG cards is absolutely cancel culture in action, and is a completely indefensible act. Anyone who supports it is supporting cancel culture. Stone-throwing Devils isn't a r…

    The number of McDonald's in Europe makes me doubt your words. In fact, here we are at visible status markers again. "My ingroup does this high status display, but your ingroup (my …

    As if there is any difference. Whomever can pay 4x the price of a ticket is going to be someone distasteful. Oh wait, are you that far up the hierarchy that there's a meaningful di…

    Cancel culture cancelled. Good luck getting your next job if you have Paw Patrol on your resume. Magic: the Gathering banned the card "Stone-throwing Devils" because it reminds peo…

    Nobody was interested in what mass murderers have to say. It just inspires more mass murderers. Did anyone read the manifesto of the New Zealand mosque killer? It was censored for …

    Slaying sacred cows is all fun and games and everyone loves South Park for it. Right up until the point at which your own sacred cows are slaughtered. Then suddenly it's not funny …

    Artistic value? With the ugly hump? That hump isn't just physically ugly, it's socially ugly as well. It is where the elites congregate. Anything that diminishes their status relat…

    The Concorde was done in by fuel prices, and because it was a small aircraft. I visited one in a museum and it was claustrophobic. Also nobody should be sorry that elites have to s…

    This is them displaying high status among their peer group. YOU see it as a low status marker because you're higher than them. Being able to look down on people is a sure sign of b…

    That's the new thing. When a film doesn't agree with the reviewer's political biases, he never admits it. Instead, the movie is terrible and nobody should see it. Remember Joker an…

    So they need to retrain for another job. Technological unemployment is here to stay. If people in another country can make food that is better and cheaper, well that's globalism.

    You're really going to say a professor at Harvard and a bucktoothed West Virginia hillbilly are of the same worth? https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/tharris00/rednecks/t...

    Being of low status, avoiding markers of low status is extremely important. You're not low status, so you can freely display such markers with no fear that anyone would conclude th…

    These are people who thought South Park was on "their" side, only to get ridiculed by South Park. Thus they feel bitter and have to lash out. They don't realize that they are the a…

    Who??? Who sees the US as a "guiding light"? Nobody, that's who. I don't know if you've been paying attention to the news, but the US' reputation is in the toilet. Racism, murder, …
